Yep... you might have read the posts about me, Chief, NitroPete, and some of Chiefs friends going to see LP at the Irridium a couple of months ago. The man is 92, and still plays with that kind of dexterity. His harmonic sensibilities and chops are amazing, regardless of his age. He would still blow minds if he was 32. SO worth the trip to see him play. Very cool. 8) 8) 8) 8)

That is too funny. I have an old VHS clip of Les and Chet Atkins on the Today Show with Gene Shalit and Les does the SAME exact rap. All the tracks are the same. Gene Shalit says "It sounds like 10 guitars" Les exclaims "No man, it's my box!!!"
